01 January 2009
The London-based employee was arrested as part of Operation Algebra, which led to the uncovering of Scotland's largest paedophile network earlier this year.
Detectives leading the inquiry alerted the Metropolitan Police and the man now faces court.
Nearly 125,000 indecent images were seized during Operation Algebra which led to the conviction of eight men in May.
Iain Livingstone, Assistant Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police, told the Sunday Mail newspaper: "We referred a case involving a serious offender to the Met which involved a senior figure at the BBC.
"The individual was in a very senior position and he became apparent to us during Operation Algebra.
"We passed that information on and the individual has now been charged and is awaiting court."
A BBC spokeswoman said it would not be appropriate to comment.
